There's a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song.

I cannot even remember a time before being conscious of James Bond.

One would think that it would be very easy, with an iconic character like James Bond, to keep making the films, but it hasn't been. But, it sure has been entertaining and rewarding.

When men change, maybe Bond will change. But let's wait. I'm not holding my breath.

I think Bond the character is distinct: He's British, he has a certain code that he lives by, he's incorruptible... he's a classical hero, but he's also fallible. He has inner demons, inner conflicts, and he's a romantic.

So as I was growing up, my father was always in the middle of making a film or preparing a film. It was a full-time, all-consuming type of operation.
